Five new iPhone Apps you should get interest


Stolen! (Free)

This is a pretty new app that is starting to gain traction. It’s a ton of fun and kind of hard to explain, even the developers don’t give you hints of how it actually works. But, you basically sign up with your twitter account and then you are able to purchase other twitter accounts. While you own those twitter accounts they generate coins for you. But, even if you buy an account someone else can come along and steal it from you, so you gotta keep an eye out! And the purpose is to become more and more valuable by buying other accounts and getting your own account bought and sold. The only reason it’s not bigger than it already is because that it requires an invite code to join.

Tunity (Free)

This app will come in handy in more places than you think. It allows you to scan a muted TV and it will find that channel and stream the audio over your iPhone. Pretty cool! I used it at a restaurant when I was watching a football game and it worked without a hitch. This could also be helpful at the gym or anywhere you find a muted tv that’s watching a channel over the air.

Cymbal (Free)

Everybody loves music and most people on the internet like to share things online with their friends. What about an app solely for sharing music and talking about it? That’s what Cymbal allows you to do. It’s just like any other social app except focused on music. You have a timeline with posts (called “cymbals”) of songs that the people you following are listening to. You can comment on those cymbals and save or share them with others. It’s a great app if you’re a music lover.

PhotoMath (Free)

This next app is no joke. I would have loved to have this back in high school. PhotoMath uses the camera on your device and allows you to scan math problems and it will instantly solve them. It’s pretty crazy how well it works and you can see it live in the video above. The one caveat to this app is that it doesn’t read handwriting, so you’ll either have to be working on a worksheet/computer or type the problem in manually.

Slide ($1.99)

This is one you definitely need to see in action in the video. Slide will allow you to take several pictures of a “subject” and turn those pictures into a gif with a 3D effect. It looks pretty cool, but it does take a few tries to get the hang of it. You focus in on the subject, then just slide your device horizontally and the app does the rest. I noticed quite a few of the bad reviews on the app were due to the users not using it correctly. So I wouldn’t be too deterred from those reviews, it works as advertised. I do, however, wished that the length of the gif was just a bit longer so it would give a more 3D effect.

How to transfer your iTunes library to a new computer

Image
The best thing about getting a new computer is that, well, you’re getting a brand new computer. It’s exciting to have a shiny new toy to play with, making you wonder how you could have been using that old machine for so long. To me though, the major downside of getting a new computer is that you have to set it all up from scratch. I’m not going to lie; some of that is part of the fun, but it can also be stressful and time consuming. Take migrating your iTunes library to your new computer for example. There is nothing really fun in that, and if you have a large library, it could take hours. In this post, I will show you how to move your iTunes library to a new computer. Unfortunately I won’t be able to save you time or stress, but at least, you’ll have simple instructions on how to do transfer all your iTunes songs, albums, album covers, and playlists to a brand new computer. Before we get started, it must be noted that there are several ways you can migrate your o...
